Fox News, The Epoch Times, the Washington Examiner and The Center Square report that Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez won a third term in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, according to The Associated Press, which called the race on Wednesday over Republican state Senate Minority Leader John Braun. The Washington Examiner gives the count as 55% to 44%, and The Epoch Times cites 143,417 votes to 115,271 in the ongoing count. Braun had not immediately conceded, saying many votes remained to be counted. Fox News reports that Trump carried the district in 2024. Earlier, Gluesenkamp Perez sided with Republicans on two procedural votes in September, which drew a rebuke from House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries.
